Every season, our second favorite thing to do (after introducing all the new books being published) is to introduce all the new paperbacks and revised titles coming out. As usual, we have a wonderful list of old new titles that we have loved and that will all look stunning in paperback. We hope you enjoy!
It is Little Rabbit’s birthday and his family surprises him with wrapped presents and a special trip to Rabbit World Theme Park.
